It's been determined that Hailey's problem is probably behavioral...so I'm going to work with her for a bit before I take her to a different vet for re-evaluation (the one I took her to was basically useless for any suggestions on what this could be). My main question is do you think the kittens using her box is upsetting her? I try to keep them out of it, but they seem to love jumping in there.
Also, I've read up on all the litterbox threads and formulated my gameplan so far
.
I'm going to lock her in my half bathroom with her box (it has clay litter) for a few days when she's unsupervised (9-7) until my cat attract additive comes in (Monday probably). When I let her out I have diffusers and am going to spray the bed with feliway. Also going to put wee-wee pads on the bed and possibly foil under that. I'm going to put out a third box with feline pine, uncovered (her current boxes are a scoop-free auto and a clay litter booda). This is when I'm going to be worried about the kitties coming in and pooping in there. I'm also going to buy various UTI friendly canned food tonight (wellness and nutro) and I have a fountain coming next week).
Does this sound good? Any changes or advice? Also, should I have my stay-at-home roomie take her out for supervised play during the day while I'm gone or will that confuse her too much?
Sorry for my many threads on Hailey, I'm sure you regulars are getting sick of me.
